http://theweek.com/articles/582032/chin ... revolution Climate change has already forced the resettlement of a quarter million people in China. Over the past 50 years, the average temperature in the central region of Xihaigu has risen by nearly 4 degrees Fahrenheit and rainfall has fallen by a third, making some areas uninhabitable. Until recently, residents relied on stored rainwater, and in dry years spent half their earnings trucking water just to stay alive. Local authorities finally gave up and relocated the entire town of Zhoutao to the nearby city of Hongsibu, and water was diverted from the Yellow River to accommodate them - all at a cost of some $1 billion. "Three main factors led to the ecological fragility of Xihaigu: nature, human impact, and climate change," Hohai University analyst Chen Shaojun told the Guardian. As Temperatures rise, many more Chinese may be forced to move. |

Of course other issues are at play but I fail to see how anyone cannot be concerned about this; http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world ... 81163.html Climate change is real and it will be an increasing problem in the future. |

Good to hear from you Spot12345! The root cause of overpopulation is what has lead to migrations from first economic effects, then kill cult invasion, then from wars caused by the root causes effects of increased hostility, anxiety, and depression. After that, it is more and more from rapid heat rise effects, causing migrations, until there is no place on the surface to survive. Later, the sea and land heat gets the others. It is a pipe dream that we can get out of this. We blew all the time we had. (You must count implementation time). There are very few ways that the human population can be rapidly reduced enough along with emissions, and in the time remaining for even a 50% chance out of "Thermageddon". |

Best bet is to just be rich enough to buy land wherever happens to be livable. |

True, although in order to believe one must be rich enough to bylined wherever due to environmental issues is to at least partially admit ti oneself that there is an issue. These people appear to be unwilling to admit to there being an issue, much to the detriment of the environment. |
